Big Numbers Don’t Always Mean Big Results for You
Many law firms brag about securing billions in settlements—but what they don’t tell you is that those numbers can be misleading.
These massive figures often include mass tort settlements, where thousands of cases are grouped together. This allows law firms to inflate their marketing claims, often citing large sums used to resolve allegations of illegal activities under laws like product liability laws or class action. These mass settlements have nothing to do with your individual case.
Your claim is not part of a mass global settlement. It’s a single case and it’s the only one that matters to you.
If you’re a maritime worker injured offshore, what truly matters isn’t a law firm’s total recoveries—it’s how much they actually win for clients like you in Jones Act cases.
How Settlement Numbers Can Be Misleading in False Claims
When looking for a Jones Act attorney, don’t be fooled by inflated marketing claims that fail to conspicuously disclose material conditions. Instead, ask yourself:
- Are these results from actual Jones Act cases, or just mass settlements?
Many firms advertise big numbers that come from large-scale lawsuits, not individual maritime claims. - Does this law firm fight for individual compensation, or push quick settlements?
Some firms settle cases fast rather than maximizing payouts for offshore workers. - What’s their actual track record with Jones Act claims?
The right attorney should have proven success in handling maritime injury cases—not just class actions.
